A delightful twist on the classic taco lasagna, this layered taco casserole is packed with flavor and perfect for any family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat for even cooking.
Add the garlic, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and a splash of water to the beef. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal on the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Cornmeal adds a subtle crunch to the base.
Layer 6 tortillas on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping them.
Overlapping ensures full coverage of the base.
Spread half of the salsa over the tortillas, followed by half of the beef mixture, green onions, sour cream, and cheeses.
Layering evenly ensures consistent flavor in every bite.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of tortillas and salsa on top.
Press down gently to compact the layers.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Covering prevents the top from drying out.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Baking uncovered melts the cheese to a golden perfection.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the layers to set for easier slicing.
